Lyrics

Cherokee Boogie

Oh, a Cherokee chief

As he dances along

He does an Indian boogie

To a white man's song

Singin' hey ho a lina, hey ho a lina

Singin' hey ho a lina, hey ho a lina

Singin' hey ho a lina

A well, a hey ho a lina, wup wup, a witten a yeah

Well, he dances over here

And he dances over there

And he dances with his squaw

Called standing bare

Singin' hey ho a lina, hey ho a lina

Singin' hey ho a lina, hey ho a lina

Singin' hey ho a lina

Oh, a hey ho a lina, wup wup, a witten a yeah

Well, he dances in a truck

And he dances on the rock

But he keep on shakin'

His old tomahawk

Singin' hey ho a lina, hey ho a lina

Singin' hey ho a lina, hey ho a lina

Singin' hey ho a lina

Oh, a hey ho a lina, wup wup, a witten a yeah

Now, he sings a little soft

And he sings a little loud

Blue, blue clouds

Singin' hey ho a lina, hey ho a lina

Singin' hey ho a lina, hey ho a lina

Singin' hey ho a lina

Oh, a hey ho a lina, wup wup, a witten a yeah

He's a Cherokee cheif

As all might know

When he sings his boogie

Singin' nuven-yo

Singin' hey ho a lina, hey ho a lina

Singin' hey ho a lina, hey ho a lina

Singin' hey ho a lina

Ooh, a hey ho a lina, wup wup, a witten a yeah
